Prayers for Jimmy
Hi HER2 family,
A very dear friend passed away during the night from non-hodgkins lymphoma. Although not bc it still was a form of this horrible disease. Jimmy was an angel walking on earth. He would give his life for a friend. He would drag himself to Church to light candles for others. Two weeks ago he told me a funny story about how he lit 15 candles for loved ones who were ill, etc. and then realized he only had 12 dollars in his wallet. He told me not to worry as mine was paid for. So tonight I lit a candle for him and put the other 2 dollars in the poor box. He will be sorely missed by his wife, son and recently widowed Mom as well as the hundreds, maybe thousands of lives he touched. I know we all have so much going on, but if anyone can remember Jimmy Tucker in their prayers that would be a gift.
Thank you all.
Sincerely,
Liz J.

Thank you
Dear Her 2 family,
Thank you for your prayers, thoughts and kind words for Jimmy. He was laid to rest today. There was a very touching and inspirational sermon during his funeral mass. I believe he is at peace.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Liz J.
